Chem 4B Lab: General Chemistry for Majors II
LibreTexts
Chemistry is an experimental science. Thus, it is important that students of chemistry do experiments in the laboratory to more fully understand that the theories they study in lecture and in their textbook are developed from critical evaluation of experimental data. The laboratory can also aid the student in the study of science by clearly illustrating the principles and concepts involved.

The Story of Earth - An Observational Guide
Daniel Hauptvogel and Virginia Sisson · University of Houston
Our goal in creating the material for this lab manual was to focus heavily on students making observations of geologic data, whether rocks, minerals, fossils, maps, graphs, and other things. We want students to look at things and wonder why, how, and when. The exercises and examples used in this book are scattered throughout the world. We wanted to make sure that one region of the world was not the sole focus of this work.
